Thanks for posting pictures.

Joe, you have a beauty there. Nice work converting it. Loved the essay and pictures explanation of what you did. I'm not very handy myself so that was very interesting and thorough. Thanks. I hope you spend many happy hours together.

Joe, I loved your tute. What is an OEM?
|
Good job....love seeing things back together and working again. Beautiful machine. Thanks for the step by steps.

Well dress
Joe,I have a 99K without the wooden case. Did your machine come with the case??? if not can you let me know where I can get one. P.S you did a great job :cool: dressing her up.

Nice job! I just resurrected my great grandmother's 99 from the closet where I had it stashed. I sewed on it all through college and until I was about 30. That was 20 years ago. It was a great machine, and the old girl really needs her original wiring replaced, a good cleaning and probably some adjustment. I have the original case, but it's seen better days, so that needs some attention too. Hmmm, that sounds like me.
We are moving in a week, and taking care of my old friend is going to be my first project after the sewing room is set up. My father recalls his grandmother sewing a quilt top I currently own on that machine and he also sewed on it, so it's got some pretty nice family memories. Thanks so much for the great photos!!

What a lovely machine! But I have to say, Joe, when I read your title I was expecting some kind of wild paint job with bells & whistles. ;o)
|
Nice job Joe.

Clap, clap, clap Joe. Well done.:thumbup: Bookmarked for much future referenced.

Laura If the wiring is the original, with the original connectors, it's not that hard to replace it. There are several places on line that sell replacement wiring harnesses for these machines. Sew-Classic is first on my list when looking for them. My 99K had nothing left so I started from scratch. I have a number of Japanese made machines in the old cloth covered wooden cases. Many, most of the cases look pretty bad. I've glued three or four of them back together and am in the process of completely rebuilding and recovering two of them. At $20.oo + each I can buy a lot of clue, sand paper, and cloth and redo them. Joe |
